Detailed reference will now be made to one or more potential embodiments of the disclosure, which are illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5 .
The PVC drywall board 100 (hereinafter invention) is configured for use in construction. The invention 100 is used to form a non-load bearing surface in a structure under construction 161. The invention 100 is intended to replace traditional drywall. The invention 100 is a flexible structure. The flexible structure of the invention 100 allows the invention to be stored as a scroll before the deployment of the invention 100 for installation as the non-load bearing surface of the structure under construction 161. The invention 100 comprises a kerf bending 101, a textured coating 102, and a barrier structure 103. The textured coating 102 is sandwiched between the kerf bending 101 and the barrier structure 103.
The kerf bending 101 forms the load bearing structure of the invention 100. The kerf bending 101 forms the primary shape of the invention 100. The kerf bending 101 is a disk shaped structure. The kerf bending 101 is a flexible structure. The kerf bending 101 is formed as a kerf bending 101. The kerf bending 101 is defined elsewhere in this disclosure. The kerf 8 bending 101 forms a sheeting structure that can be rolled into a scroll. The kerf bending 101 forms the load path that transfers the loads of the textured coating 102 and the barrier structure 103 to a structure under construction 161. The kerf bending 101 is fastened to the structure under construction 161. The kerf bending 101 comprises a base plate 111 and a slat structure 112. In the first potential embodiment of the disclosure, the kerf bending 101 comprises polyvinylchloride (CAS: 9006-86-2) 151. The polyvinylchloride (CAS: 9006-86-2) 151 is defined elsewhere in this disclosure.
The base plate 111 is a disk shaped structure. The base plate 111 is a flexible structure. The flexible nature of the base plate 111 allows the base plate 111 to be rolled into a scroll shape. In the first potential embodiment of the disclosure, the base plate 111 has a rectangular shape.
The slat structure 112 forms the living hinge structure of the kerf bending 101. The slat structure 112 mounts on the congruent end of the disk structure of the base plate 111 with the greatest surface area. The slat structure 112 mounts on the congruent end of the disk structure of the base plate 111 that is distal from the textured coating 102. The slat structure 112 enhances the load bearing strength of the kerf bending 101 while allowing the kerf bending 101 to be rolled into a scroll structure. The slat structure 112 further comprises a plurality of slats 141 and a plurality of slots 142.
Each slat selected from the plurality of slats 141 is a disk shaped structure. Each selected slat is a rectangular structure. Each selected slat mounts on the face of the base plate 111 with the greatest surface area. The plurality of slats 141 mount on the base plate 111 such that the major axis of any first slat selected from the plurality of slats 141 is parallel to any second slat selected from the plurality of slats 141. The slat selected from the plurality of slats 141 mount on the base plate 111 such that the major axis of each selected slat is parallel to an edge of the rectangular shape of the base plate 111. The plurality of slats 141 forms the physical surface of the base plate 111 that is proximal to the structure under construction 161.
Each slot selected from the plurality of slots 142 is a negative space that is formed between any first slat selected from the plurality of slats 141 and any second slat selected from the plurality of slats 141 that is adjacent to the first selected slat. The negative space formed by the selected slot forms a living hinge between the first selected slat and the second (adjacent) selected slat. The negative space formed by the selected slot allows the first selected slat to rotate relative to the second (adjacent) selected slot as the kerf bending 101 is rolled into a scroll. The combination of each living hinge formed by each slot selected from the plurality of slots 142 forms the kerf bending 101 structure of the slot selected from the plurality of slots 142.
The textured coating 102 is a coating that is applied to the congruent end base plate 111 of the kerf bending 101 that is distal from the slat structure 112 of the kerf bending 101. The textured coating 102 forms the visible surface of the invention 100 after the invention 100 is installed as a non-load bearing surface of the structure under construction 161. The textured 19 coating 102 is formed as a malleable structure that will conform to the changes of the surface of the kerf bending 101 as the kerf bending 101 is rolled into a scroll. The applicant prefers that the textured coating 102 creates the feel and appearance of a surface formed from calcium sulfate dihydrate (CAS: 10101-41-4) 152. In the first potential embodiment of the disclosure, the textured coating 102 comprises calcium sulfate dihydrate (CAS: 10101-41-4) 152. The calcium sulfate dihydrate (CAS: 10101-41-4) 152 is defined elsewhere in this disclosure.
The barrier structure 103 is a sheeting structure. The barrier structure 103 is a flexible structure. The barrier structure 103 is geometrically similar to the congruent ends of the disk structure of the kerf bending 101. The barrier 8 structure 103 is applied to the surface of the textured coating that is distal from the kerf bending 101. The barrier structure 103 forms the barrier structure 103 that creates a protected surface for the textured coating 102. The barrier structure 103 encloses the textured coating 102. The barrier structure 103 is a disposable structure. The barrier structure 14 is removed from the textured coating 102 after the invention has been installed in the structure under construction 161. The barrier structure 103 comprises a sheeting structure 131 and a sheeting image 132.
The sheeting structure 131 is the sheeting that encloses the textured coating 102 for storage. The sheeting structure 131 is formed from paper. The sheeting structure 131 removably encloses the exterior surface of the textured coating 102 that is applied to the kerf bending 101. The sheeting structure 131 is a disposable structure. The sheeting structure 131 is removed from the textured coating 102 after the invention 100 has been installed in the structure under construction 161. The sheeting structure 131 is a flexible structure. The flexible nature of the sheeting structure 131 allows the sheeting structure 131 to conform to the changes of the surface of the kerf bending 101 as the kerf bending 101 is rolled into a scroll.
The sheeting image 132 is a visible image. The sheeting image 132 is applied to the sheeting structure 131. The sheeting image 132 is visibly displayed from the face of the sheeting structure 131 that is distal from the textured coating 102. The sheeting image 132 is visible from the exterior of the invention 100. The sheeting image 132 presents one or more indicia. The one or more indicia presented by the sheeting image 132 is intended to stimulate a sentiment in an individual who sees the sheeting structure 131. The sheeting image 132 is disposed of with the sheeting structure 131. In the first potential embodiment of the disclosure, the sheeting image 132 presents a scale structure that allows the span of the distance between any two points on the congruent end of the disk structure of the base plate 111 to be estimated.
